Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi folks! I agree with the person who said they were annoyed with folks who call themselves vegetarians who still eat flesh occasionally. Maybe they can call themselves wanna-be-vegetarians. The transition from vegetarian to vegan is not that big a deal! YOU CAN DO IT! Especially when you consider the huge amount of suffering, cruelty and death you are preventing by simply making this change. A vegetarian saves many lives. You can read a good discussion of this topic here http://www.veganfreaks.net/forum/showthread.php?p=490867 There are several brands of vegetarian dog food available. I feed my dogs Natures Receipe Vegetarian. You can purchase it at Petsmart. They love it. You can also get vegetarian food for cats, although that's trickier. My cats are not totally vegetarian and I feel bad about that. By the way, there was a person who asked about Boca burgers the other day. They are like a hamburger, but vegetarian/vegan. You can find them in the frozen section of your grocery store. Be sure to get the VEGAN Boca burger. Not all Boca products are vegan. The corn dogs have egg and milk in them, as do many of their other products.... Vegans and vegetarians really learn to read food labels, as there are often hidden ingredients in many products that you wouldn't expect... like beef broth in vegetable soup, milk and egg and honey in many breads, etc. There is a good website where you can find ordinary foods that are vegan.... http://www.peta.org/accidentallyVegan/ Happy Cruelty-free eating!
